How Big

Characters: Den Leader, any number of Cub Scouts with presents. Setting: Den Leader is standing on stage. If desired, a decorated Christmas tree may be used as backdrop. Boys enter one at a time.

First boy: Merry Christmas, Mrs. ____________. I brought you something. (Hands her a box.) Den Leader: That’s very nice, Bill, but there was no need…. Second Boy: Hi, Mrs. ______________, look at the present I brought you. (Hands her a bigger box.) Den Leader: Well, Bob….. Third Boy: (Rushes in) Here’s a present, Mrs. ________________. Boy, it’s heavy! Den Leader: Well, Tom … what a surprise. You really didn’t have to… Fourth Boy: (Rushes in carrying box almost too large to handle) Look what I have! Boy, are you going to like it! Den Leader: Oh dear! Boys…

Fifth Boy: (Pushing box across floor…too heavy to carry) Here’s a Christmas gift from me, Mrs. __________ It’s really neat! Den Leader: My Goodness… Sixth Boy: (Pulling a wagon on which is a box much too large to carry.) Wait till you see this one! I really spent a lot of money! Den Leader: Boys, you are all very kind. But I think we should have a talk about all this. Where’s Jim? First Boy: He’s coming. I don’t know what is taking him so long. He doesn’t have a very big gift. In fact, I didn’t see him carrying anything. Second Boy: Here he is now. (Jim enters.) Jim: Sorry I’m late for the meeting, Mrs. _______. I stayed after school to finish your Christmas present.

Third Boy: I don’t see a present. Look at all the BIG presents we brought. I can’t even see yours. (Smirks.) Jim: Mine isn’t very large, Mrs. ________, but I hope you’ll like it. It’s a poem. All: What a present! (Lots of Laughing.) Den Leader: May I see it, Jim. (He hands her the paper and she reads:)

I have no money, so I guess I’m poor But I have friends, that is for sure. I have no money so I couldn’t buy The things I’d like, though Christmas is nigh. I have no money, but I don’t care Cause I have you, with whom to share A happy Christmas Season. I have no money, so I was sad; But I looked around, and I was glad. The things I have are worth a lot; Some kids don’t have the things I got. I have my dad, I have my mom, I have my dog he loves me some. And in my den I’ve learned to share. Not things or money, but love and care. For each of you I wish as much, That you’ll each know the work of such, As family, friends and all the things That last when Christmas gifts are gone.
